April on Wear OS.
Invited internal testers can install the published testing build through Google Play. It lets you follow exercises, log sets and time your rest on a compatible Wear OS watch. There is no public Wear OS release yet.
April Watch explained.
April’s Wear OS companion is available to invited Google Play internal testers. It brings exercises, sets and rest timers to your wrist. A public watch release is still ahead; iPhone and Apple Watch are coming later. Health Connect is available on Android with Pro or Ultra.
How it worksWhich devices work with April?
The watch companion is currently available to internal testers. It needs a compatible Wear OS watch and April on Android. Health Connect can already bring readings from supported watch apps into the phone app.
Apple Watch is coming later.
We are working on an Apple Watch companion. It is not available yet.
Health data on Android.
With permission, April reads supported activity, heart-rate and sleep summaries through Health Connect. You can use this without the April watch app. Enable Sleep access and let your watch’s health app sync its records first.
Health data on iPhone.
The upcoming iPhone app can read supported summaries through Apple Health with your permission. The separate April app for Apple Watch is not publicly available yet.

Questions about the watch
Can I install the watch companion now?
Only invited Google Play internal testers can currently install it. The Android phone app being available on Google Play does not mean the watch companion has a public release.
Can I build a complete workout on the watch?
Create and edit workouts on your phone. Use the watch to follow the current session.
What happens if the phone disconnects?
The watch can save supported workout updates and retry them when it reconnects. Check the sync status and review the completed workout on your phone.
Does Apple Health mean Apple Watch is supported?
No. The upcoming iPhone app’s Apple Health connection and the separate Apple Watch companion are different features. Neither Apple app is publicly available yet.
Are watch calories exact?
No. Calories and heart rate are estimates based on the watch's sensors and calculations.
Which permissions are optional?
The permissions needed depend on the feature you use. You can turn off health, sensor or activity access in your device settings, but features that need that data may stop working.
